Fantasy Impact: LeShoure ceded more carries to Joique Bell in the second half with the game well in hand, probably the only thing keeping him from 100 yards. He's had some mediocre performances in recent weeks, so this was a nice reward to fantasy owners patient enough to stick with him.
There's no guarantee he'll keep it up, as the Lions are still splitting carries between him and Bell. He remains a low-end flex option against the Vikings in Week 10.
